SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Failure to follow the operating, maintenance and lubrication requirements set forth In this operating and
Instruction manual may result in serious personnel injury and/or damage to equipment. These “ WARNING”
statements indicate potentially hazardous conditions for operator or equipment.
TAKE NECESSARY STEPS TO PROTECT PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT.
1 Carefully read “Engine Operating Instructions,” before attempting to operate, service, or
disassemble the engine or any of its parts.
2 Warning - Gasoline is a highly combustible fuel. The Improper use, handling, or storage of gasoline can
be dangerous. Prevent accidents by following these safety rules:
A. Use gasoline only as a fuel, never as a cleaning fluid.
B. Use only an approved container to hold or store gasoline. Never store gasoline in familiar
containers such as milk containers or soda pop bottles.
C. Store gasoline in a cool location, out of the reach of children. Never store gasoline near heat or an
open flame.
D. Do not refuel with the engine running. Add fuel to a cool engine only. Spilled fuel on a hot engine
or muffler may cause a fire or an explosion. Fill fuel tank out-of-doors and wipe up any spills.
E. Make sure all fuel lines and connectors are secure.
F. Provide a fire extinguisher nearby when working with gasoline. Be sure extinguisher is
in operating condition; check the pressure gauge or indicator. Be familiar with its proper
use. Consult local fire department for the correct type of extinguisher for your application.
Extinguishers rated ABC by the NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION are
appropriate for most applications.
G. POSITIVELY NO SMOKING!!
3 DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE IN AN ENCLOSED AREA!! Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide that is
an odorless poisonous gas. If equipment is located in an enclosed area with an exhaust line to the outside,
regularly check the exhaust system for leaks. Be sure the area is well ventilated.
4 Do not operate equipment when mentally or physically fatigued.
5 Stay away from moving parts, avoid wearing loose fitting clothes that could get caught in the equipment.
6 Keep the equipment and surrounding area clean. Cluttered areas invite accidents. Remove all oil deposits
from equipment and surrounding area. Accumulations of grease and oil may present a hazard.
7 All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from work area. Keep children away from equipment and
discharge hose. Do not allow children to hold discharge hose.
8 Be careful not to touch the exterior of a hot engine, especially the muffler and the surrounding area.
The engine is hot enough to be painful or cause injury.
9 Keep power shields and guards in place. Do not make adjustments and repairs while engine is running,
unless specified for in repairs. Use extreme caution around hot manifolds and moving parts.
10 Prevent accidental starting by always removing spark plug or by disconnecting and grounding spark plug
